Hinges and Folding Struts

Folding Struts – Our patented Gemini Hinge and collapsible struts make a lot of things possible – folding spreader bars on biminis, folding grab rails on dodgers, Pusher Bars on dodgers, new means of frame breakdown for storage, quickly collapsible frame legs, fold down of T-Top frames (and other structures), openings in life line rails (popular on the bows of fishing boats to open the rail for the use of a trolling motor), collapsible legs on drop down dinette tables and jumper seats.

The strut is locked in position by a sleeve that closes over the joint and secured in position with a spring ball on either end. The strut cannot accidentally fold. You’ll hardly notice the sleeve and the entire length of a strut can operate as a grab bar. Hinge and tubing are all type 316 stainless.
